Hazard

"Ah yes, I forgot. We have gambling. It is a great source of income, especially since we ensure that the Borgia guards always lose."

―La Volpe, on rigged games of hazard in La Volpe Addormentata, 1500.

Salaì playing Hazard

Hazard was a dice game that could be played at the inn of La Volpe Addormentata, and was a game of chance that many patrons participated in and gambled upon.

Rules

First roll

Rolling the "Throw In" (7 or 11) automatically won the game. Rolling the "Throw Out" (2, 3 or 12) would result in losing the game, and the stake.

Rolling anything else would set the number as the "Chance," and would allow for a second "Chance Roll."

Roll	Payout
Throw In	1:2.2

Chance of 5 or 9	1:3
Chance of 6 or 8	1:2.2

Behind the scenes

Hazards (a predecessor to craps) is a historical game of chance that has existed since at least the 14th century. However its appearance in the franchise is possibly anachronistic as it was mainly played in England and did not find popularity on continental Europe until the 1700s.

Winning 10,000 florins through Hazard unlocked the "'High Roller" achievement.
